00:00Former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Takua Baratai has described the conduct and behavior of a Nigeria Serving Minister and former Governor of Rivers State, Nisum Wike before a serving Nigeria soldier in the naval force as reckless and thus insulted and disrespected the person and the office of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tanubu after the minister had a confrontation with the naval officer with the service name,
00:29A.M. Yerima, at plot 1946, Udua District, Abuja over ownership and development rights to a parcel of land allegedly linked to a former Chief of Naval Staff, this, a careful study of some video footage made available online especially the video captured and published by Channel's Television, apparently indicated that the FCT Minister, Nisum Wike physically assaulted one of the operatives of the Department of State Services,
00:57DSS that was seen protecting the minister against a potential threat of armed soldier who was on a direct viewpoint with the minister, the DSS officer proactively moved to give the armed soldier a close marking and chest up to the defense line with the armed soldier who was moving steps on a close range and direct viewpoint to the minister,
01:17but, surprisingly, the minister in a manner that looks very disrespectful and belittling, walked up to the DSS officer and dragged him to leave the way, professionally, the DSS operative angrily resisted Wike and said with a loud voice that he can't leave the defense line,
01:33that the armed soldier is being unprofessional with the way the armed soldier was standing on a direct viewpoint to the minister, quickly, one of the combatant DSS officers from behind moved towards the armed soldier and pushed him off the defense line, thereafter, the situation became violently rowdy and was almost leading to a complete fight,
01:53Even when the DSS operatives formed a circle around the minister to protect him, Nisum Wike was seen trying to violate the DSS human shield in a manner as if he was going personally to confront one of the armed soldiers,
02:08but the DSS officers ensured the minister was denied the opportunity to endanger his own life and after the violent situation,
02:15all the armed soldiers moved backward while the DSS officers built a human defense wall against the armed soldiers completely,
02:23only the senior army officer who appeared not armed, was now in close contact with the minister,
02:29and according to the former chief of army staff, Lieutenant General Takua Baratai,
02:34Nisum Wike's action is a clear act that, present danger to national security,
02:39and, undermines the authority of the commander-in-chief and the integrity of the armed forces.
02:45The FCT minister, accompanied by senior officials of the Federal Capital Development Authority,
02:52had visited the site to stop what he described as an illegal construction,
02:56when he confronted a naval officer allegedly supervising the property.
03:00In a viral video of the incident, Wike was seen expressing outrage with insulting words such as,
03:06You are a fool, when I graduated, you were still in primary school,
03:11while the officer insisted that he was acting on orders given to him by a vice-admiral.
03:16Wike could be heard and seen in the videos shouting on top of his voice, saying,
03:21You are in uniform, and you're telling me that the Navy owns this land.
03:26Who gave you the right to build without approval?
03:29Even if you are the chief of naval staff, the law must be respected.
03:32The officer repeatedly responded that the property belonged to a former service chief
03:38and that the military had authorization to protect it.
03:41Takua Baratai, who served Nigeria as chief of army staff between 2015 and 2022,
03:48through his verified Facebook account on Tuesday early morning, said in quotes that,
03:53The events of November 11, 2025, involving the minister of the Federal Capital Territory,
04:00Barrister Nisim Wike, demand an immediate and serious response.
04:05His public disparagement of a uniformed officer of the Nigerian Armed Forces transcends mere misconduct.
04:12It represents a palpable threat to national security and institutional integrity.
04:17A minister's verbal assault on a military officer in uniform is an act of profound indiscipline
04:22that strikes at the core of our nation's command and control structure.
04:27It deliberately undermines the chain of command, disrespects the authority of the commander-in-chief,
04:33and grievously wounds the morale of every individual who serves under the Nigerian flag.
04:38Such actions erode the very foundation of discipline upon which our national security apparatus stands.
04:45This cannot be dismissed as political theater.
04:48It is a reckless endangerment of national order.
04:50This action by Wike is clearly an indication of undermining the federal government's authority.
04:57Consequently, Barrister Nisim Wike must tender an immediate and unequivocal public apology
05:02to President Bola Ahmed Tanubu as commander-in-chief,
05:06the entire armed forces of Nigeria, and the specific officer whose honor was violated.
05:12Our nation's security must come first.
05:14It is time for decisive action, not politics of military bashing.
05:19The integrity of our armed forces demands nothing less.
05:23The integrity of our armed forces demands nothing less.
05:23See you later.
